Before working with OpenCorp, Alex and Awhina were trying to understand property investing through conversations with friends and family. They wanted to invest, but needed greater clarity around the process, the costs and what it could mean for their future.
Alex and Awhina have built a portfolio of two investment properties in two years, generating more than $280K in portfolio growth and over $30K in annual rental income.
Their goal is to create greater choice for their family, work towards becoming financially independent by 40 and build something meaningful they can one day pass on to their son.
Before investing, Alex and Awhina had limited property knowledge and were trying to understand their options through friends and family.
They first heard about OpenCorp through Alex’s mother, who was already investing with the team. Seeing her experience gave them the confidence to explore property investment for themselves.
From the beginning, the process was explained step by step. They understood who would support them at each stage, could move at their own pace and felt comfortable asking questions along the way.
One of their biggest concerns was the ongoing cost of holding an investment property. The initial cash-flow estimates were conservative, helping them prepare for the expected weekly contribution.
Once the property was completed and tenanted, the rental income was stronger than anticipated, reducing their out-of-pocket costs. They also began seeing progress sooner than expected, with later stages of the same development selling at a premium before their first property was completed.
Despite expecting property investment to take up a significant amount of time, Alex and Awhina found the process straightforward, with much of the work managed through a small number of meetings, emails and phone calls.
In two years, they have built a portfolio of two properties, achieved more than $280K in portfolio growth and generated over $30K in annual rental income.
For Alex and Awhina, their portfolio is about more than financial results. They want to create greater choice for their family, work towards financial independence by 40 and build something they can one day pass on to their son.
Their journey also gives them an opportunity to speak openly with him about money and show him what can be achieved by starting early and making informed decisions.
Their advice to others is simple: start exploring what is possible, speak with people who have already invested and find professionals whose values align with your own.
For Alex and Awhina, this isn’t just about portfolio growth. It’s about creating more choice for their family, building something they can pass on and helping their son grow up with greater confidence around money.
